Waihi · Waihi

Waihi is the town with a working gold mine at its centre: the Martha open pit drops away just behind the main street, and the restored Cornish Pumphouse beside it is the town's landmark. Gold has been mined here since 1878 and still shapes the local economy. The Goldfields Railway runs vintage trains to Waikino at the mouth of the Karangahake Gorge, and the town is the southern gateway to the Coromandel.
